Miss A Columnist

Meera Rajagopalan is the Austin Editor for Miss A. A proud Longhorn, Meera earned her journalism degree from UT. Some of her hobbies include event planning, writing and baking. She loves trying new recipes and experimenting with food. Her latest creation was Pistachio Fudge. A tech nerd at heart, Meera loves cool iPhone apps and geeking out with friends about social media trends. Aside from the tech stuff, Meera also enjoys discovering new fonts. There’s something about finding the perfect font to help enhance titles. Besides her hobbies, Meera loves free stuff. So far besides tons of samples, she’s won concert tickets, movie passes (compliments of Do512) and a cooking class.

With DJ Theory spinning in the background, StyleCaster’s Austin’s 25 Most Stylish party closed out SXSW 2013 Interactive portion. This event united the style and new media industry’s influencers and enthusiasts. Guests mingled at Wanderlust LIVE, a yoga studio in Austin that was transformed to accommodate the stylish honorees.

These names celebrate everything Austinites love about the city. From the food and music to the designers and technology, there is constantly something happening. The team at StyleCaster recognized this when they created this list.

“We’re so thrilled to be celebrating some of the city’s most stylish characters—from musicians to entrepreneurs—during a festival that brings such a unique mix of people to the city,” said Laurel Pinson, Editor in Chief of StyleCaster Media Group

This was a popular event of the night. With a line out the door, Rebecca, in town from New York, happened upon the event with her friend Rita. While “going with the flow,” they saw the opportunity to meet new people and venture to another party before heading to their last stop of the night.
